Probably the most frost resistant fig among the tasty figs Frost resistant up to –20° Celsius for a few days (about –4° Fahrenheit) at a protected location with winter protection Early ripening, possible in July Fruit weight of up to 111 grams is possible Very rich bearing; one fruit per leaf is normal Two fruit per leaf is only possible on older plants with optimal nourishment Very sweet and tasty fruit, rich in vitamins and minerals Used as herbal medicine in former days Can slenderise, promotes digestion Can sensualise Used as fresh fruit, in salads, for jams and in a variety of dessertsI had one fruit ripen for me in 2010. The winter of 2010-11 (+5F) killed this small tree to ground level. It came back in the summer of 2011.
